Clemens van der Feen
After some occasional drumming on various items, Clemens (1980) began singing and playing bassguitar in the band of his older brothers (the Feenbrothers) at the age of eleven. Later on, he studied jazz and classical bass at the Conservatories of Amsterdam and Detmold (Germany) and he lived in New York for a while to take private lessons with Ben Street and John Pattituci, among others. Clemens has won several jazz awards, including first prize at the Capbreton Bass Encounter in 1999 (France). He also won Best New Talent Award in the 2001 Dutch Jazz Competition and the Ruud Jacobs Award, presented to him by Ruud Jacobs. Clemens co-leads a band called Narcissus, with reedman Robin Verheyen and drummer Flin van Hemmen. Clemens is a member of the Michael Moore Quartet, Harmen Fraanje Trio, Ensemble a l’improviste, Joris Roelofs Trio featuring Jesse van Ruller, Rob van Bavel Trio, Jan Menu Quartet, Franz von Chossy Trio, Paul Wiltgen Group and a regular with the Toots Thielemans Quartet. Clemens also performed with Eric Vloeimans, Mark Murphy, Nelson Veras, Karel Boehlee, Ari Hoenig, Seamus Blake, Benjamin Herman, Jazz Orchestra of the Concertgebouw, Deborah Brown, Juraj Stanik, Pete Philly & Perquisite, Tineke Postma, Gino Vannelli, Rick Margitza, John Engels, Jasper Blom, Bert van den Brink, Bill Carrothers and many more. Outside the jazz scene he has performed with the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, the Asko & Schönberg Ensemble and other chamber groups. Being one of the few musicians to receive their masters degree with honors- in both jazz and classical music, Clemens has already been playing all over the world from jazz clubs in Paris and Tokyo to the Musikverein in Vienna and Carnegie Hall in New York.

Hallo People! I believe that music can unite people from the most remote corners of our planet. I would like to offer to create live music via Internet together. You can record your instrument via computer and send this record to me via Internet so I can play together with you. Also, together we can find the other musicians for our music created and played together. We can understand each other with the help of our music and send our messages to the whole world!
* Each new jazz "friend" is important to us. So, we appreciate your add very much.
If you are selling your music online you know that the competition is deadly. You must use every bit of advertising you can afford, and you must advertise to the right people. This might help ...
